Meri rooh main jo utar saken wo mohabbatain muje chaye,

jo seraab ho na azab hon wo rafaqaten muje chaiye,

unhi saa’aton ki talash hai jo calendaron se uter gaen,

jo samey k sath guzar gayi wo fursaten muje chaye,

kahin milen to samit la meri roz-o-shab ki kahaniyan,

jo guzre waqat main chup gaye wo haqiqaten muje chaye,

jo meri shabon k charagh they,jo meri umeed k baagh they,

wohi log hain meri aarzu,wohi sooraten muje chaheyein…
